Help me pick a 43mm ROO

I like several models, down to steel taupe, blue ceramic, and rose gold. Have a steel Rolex, 15500st, and 16202st. Drawn by rose gold, but feel like ceramic is fairly worry free, and taupe dial is awesome. Very torn. Recommendations welcome!

Which Rose Gold one? The Grey or Black? I think the Grey one looks stunning.
Taupe is my favorite. It’s so damn manly, it makes up for my lack of manliness.

The taupe is definitely great, although I wish it was Ti, or that they would do a grey dial version in Ti.

I would like to see the new brown in person and the rose gold and grey dial is amazing.

Taupe owner here and love it. Have worn daily since getting this spring. Also have Polar and 16202 plus a few others. Has the previous RG44 black dial and was too bulky.

The black dials are cool if you are into motorsports or have a sports car.

Black ceramic with yellow gold accents is my favorite, and one I went for. I have a thing for the subdials being the same color as the dial, and as already mentioned, it’s very worry-free. I did previously consider the RG with ceramic bezel.. but when I saw the CE model I knew that was the one.

The grey dial version below in Ti that already exists is my favourite.

Another vote for taupe. The finishing on the ceramic bezel is incredible

Blue ceramic for me. Sounds like you have a nice base of APs and this would one would be a bit different. Super light with the ceramic too.

Why is that? Im already aware they are large and some have chrono issues that are fixed under warranty. Is there something else?
